About Me

Let's see, I have just started my venture into the gardening world back in Nov. 2007. I have a little knowledge but I am constantly learning something new. I live in beautiful Fort Pierce Florida. I am about 8 mins. from the ocean and the river. I have a relatively large yard and I am going to transform it into a very tropical and very peaceful place that produces the very finest of foods. I am blogging this process to help others answer the questions they may have, and to receive the help that I need. I hope you enjoy watching my yard transform.

Well, it has been waay to long since my last post. I am very sorry about that. I have been super busy lately. But rest assure I am still hard at work creating my tropical paradise.

I have been given a gift from a dear friend of mine yesterday. She picked this little gem up at a plant sale over a year ago. I was at her house when I saw it. It was a Variegated Elephant Ear ( Colocasia esculenta 'Elepaio' ). I have never seen one before and I instantly fell in love. I asked her to break me one off when it began to throw pups and she replied " No problem". Well to my surprise her son hand delivered it to me yesterday.

To be honest , it was over a year ago since I have seen this Variegated Elephant Ear and I had completely forgotten about it. So you can imagine my surprise when it was handed to me. That made it extra special to me. I will take extra good care of this one!

The Variegated Elephant Ear ( Colocasia esculenta 'Elepaio' ) can survive in sun to shade conditions and is a tropical plant. It is a rare Elephant Ear that is named after the rare Hawaiian fly catcher bird 'Elepaio'. This tropical plant requires consistently moist soil which makes it great for bogs and water gardens.
